COLORADO – (3/27/11, Denverpost.com)

“Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell is waiting for his conscience to tell him: Should he start handing out tickets this week to U.S. Forest Service agents who are closing backcountry roads? Should he cut locks on gates that shut off access to public lands?

The fact that a county sheriff is considering such actions against the federal government is a good indication that more than a run-of-the-mill dustup over road and trail closures on public lands is erupting in the far southwest corner of the state…

In recent weeks, protesters have marched on the local Forest Service and BLM office located between Cortez and Dolores, calling Forest Service officials “government pukes.”

OREGON – (3/2/11, by Sara Foster, NewsWithViews.com) “Josephine County, Oregon -When Gil Gilbertson was sworn in as Sheriff of Josephine County, a rural county in southwest Oregon, in 2007, he had 30 years of law enforcement experience behind him, both in the United States and with various military missions overseas.

So when citizens of the county began coming to him complaining of “harassment” by U.S. Forest Service law enforcement officers (LEO), he said he’d investigate their concerns, figuring he could work things out with the local ranger district. After all, as the county’s chief law enforcement officer he was in the “club” and moreover had gotten along with the “feds” — though he disagreed with their road closing policies and other efforts to keep the public off public lands which cover 68 percent of the rural county.

He contacted the local ranger district for information, but instead of answers he was bluntly told that No, they couldn’t, wouldn’t discuss anything about any complaints with him, but he could file a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act)… Gilbertson sent a blistering letter to the District Ranger of the Wild Rivers Ranger District in Caves Junction… ‘As the CLEO [chief law enforcement officer] of this county, elected by the citizens, saddled with the expectation and responsibility to safeguard their rights, I fully intend to uphold the laws against any threat, inappropriate or unlawful actions against them…”.

UTAH – (10/6/10, San Juan Record) “Hunters in San Juan County face a number of roads that have been closed on National Forests. ‘We have been hunting this area since my dad was a kid,’ said one Blanding resident, who asked that his name not be used. ‘It seems like they have closed a thousand roads’.”

MONTANA – ( 8/26/10, Helenair.com) “The Helena National Forest Service has truly been busy this summer. They have had excavators up in the forests removing roads and portions of roads for the sole purpose of making them impossible to navigate. These are not maintained Forest Service roads, yet the excuse they used was to save money in the long run by taking these roads off of their maintenance list. The sole reason for these road closures is to prevent sportsmen from accessing hunting grounds.”

IDAHO – (6/16/11, Capitalpress.com) “A county government in Idaho has filed a legal complaint against the U.S. Forest Service over road closures that allegedly limit residents’ mobility and discourage tourists. Valley County has asked a federal judge to declare the agency’s travel management plan for the Payette National Forest as unlawful due to violations of environmental and administrative law.

“They didn’t do it right,” said Matthew Williams, the county’s attorney. “No appeals, no hearings. They just did it.”

The road closures by the Forest Service have also been happening in California, Nevada and other states.

Former Sheriff Richard Mack, in his book “County Sheriff: America’s Last Hope” summed it up when he said “The founders of America warned us that we would lose more freedoms from gradual encroachments by those in authority than by sudden usurptions from any foreign enemy…The COUNTY SHERIFF is our nation’s LAST LINE OF DEFENSE, for the preservation and return to, fundamental and individual liberty.”

TheUSDA (a member of the new Rural Council and the IUCN, an organization that promotes U.N.’s Agenda 21) used your tax dollars to send David Ferrell, Director of Law Enforcement and Investigations, to Canada for the 9th Conference of the International Network for Environ­mental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE) where “… environmental compliance and en­forcement experts from over 50 coun­tries gathered to identify new actions topromote enforcement cooperation to…support the shift to sustainable devel­opment…”

On INECE’s website, it states:“Agenda 21: An international mandate for building compliance and enforcement capacity as an essential element of environmental management… Agenda 21, Chapter 8, Section 8.21. Each country should develop integrated strategies to maximize compliance with its laws and regulations relating to sustainable development. Does this seem like the Forest Service might “promote enforcement” to make U.S. citizens comply with Agenda 21? It’s important to know what the USDA is “participating” in:

“INECE is striving for a global network which starts first at local levels, networking among key institutions of government, the police, environment agencies, sectoral agencies; second among local groups and with related regional and national groups within nations; third, between governments and NGOs; fourth internationally in bilateral cooperation; fifth regionally amongnations among all relevant groups; and finally, sixth, on a global scale among the various groups as needs arise and catalyzing ideas and approaches and cooperation around the globe.

The mandate for environmental compliance and enforcement was introduced as a direct result of the consensus at the International Workshop which gave the participants the confidence to move toward this very important international statement. Language in Agenda 21 empowered UN organizations to more actively support compliance and enforcement institution building activities.”

Regarding any mandate for USDA “enforcements” to close off roads, forests and public lands, remember the Tenth Amendment “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Sheriff Mack sums this up best “…local officials have the right, the power, and the duty to stand against the far reaching incursions by our own Federal Government.” Mack cited a Supreme Court case in which Justice Scalia wrote a ruling for the majority that stated “The Federal Government may not compel the states to enact or enforce a federal regulatory program.”

It is funny that everybody thinks the FEMA camps are to lock us up. There are too many of us! They are for them to move their families in, so that they can protect them while they take over. THINK ABOUT IT!

Unfortunately, people who use the trails lawfully are being being punished for those who use them unlawfully. Several constitutional violations come to mind with these federal acts. I was arrested for being on a trail in Northern California after sunset that was recently closed because car prowlers were breaking into campers cars. They needed to see my ID to prove I wasn’t an unknown wanted criminal?I’m not looking for a loophole for criminals, but I think that most Americans have made it clear, even in the wake of 9/11, that we will not surrender civil liberties to stop criminals. Hold the criminals responsible for their actions and preserve the liberty of the law abiding. Do not close trails or public lands because others mis-use them.

THIS IS ALL PART OF THE GREAT SCAM AND COVER UP TO FORCE US UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE UNGODLY NATIONS!!!! HAVEN’T THE BAD GUYS EVER WATCHED THE MOVIES AND LEARNED THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO CORRAL AND CONTROL A FREE PEOPLE, THAT EVENTUALLY IT WILL BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE???????? LAND GRABS, GUN GRABS, AND FINALLY IT WILL BE LIKE THEY HAVE GRABBED A HANDFUL OF SCORPIONS!!!! LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN AMERICA!!!

The property owners in the Los Alamos Hills area of Murrieta are being told that they will be required to donate a large portion of their land to Western Riverside Conservation Authority for the protection of multiple species. These property owners are will not be allowed any type of city or county permits to build, sub-divide etc….. unless they agree to the donation of a sizable portion of their land. The property owners are being offer NO compensation for their property.

They are silentky taking over…do you blind people get it yet, and you think the FEMA camps arent for us. I know someone who lives close to a FEMA camp in WA and he didnt know what it was until my husband and I told him. He saw 4 blackhawk helicoptors being trucked to that area and had no idea and was afraid to ask questions!! All I can say is do your homework poeple and open your eyes and see whet they have planned for us.

“I am all for keeping some roads open for hunting access. I myself am a hunter. But the majority of these roads are being closed to keep morons on ATVs out of the woods. Earth – something to drive on and throw empty beer bottles at, that’s what these dimbulbs think. How many of the pencildicks who read this site have shot at an animal while sitting on an ATV. Or from the driver seat of your F-450 monster truck. You are not hunters. You are trash.

If you want to enjoy the back country get a pair of hiking boots, or get a mountain bike, (or even a game cart, what a concept!), stop hoovering Budweiser and cheese doodles and get your fat asses in shape. Slovenly ignorant spoiled bums.”

So very well said rufus. I share your sentiments and observations. More roads in the forest equate to more trash thrown out, ATV or trail bike (super loud) damage on and off road, poached wildlife, shot up signs, poached and or damaged trees, and greater likelihood of fire. All this talk of blue helmets swarming over our public lands and national parks is fear mongering, pure and simple. I’m much more concerned with the open border with Mexico and the drug cartel/gang bangers infiltrating wild lands and setting up shop..

all exits are closing ,soon no flights into or out of USA
then comes the night of the round up.
Americans will be sent to reeducation centers and or death camps.
no place to hide and no place to run
they are preparing for the lifting of the sleep from the American masses eyes.
time for wake up past due

The Federal Government is just eliminating the escape routs out of populated areas, for when they start rounding up people to send to the holding area’s they have built all over the country, for re-education. Open your eyes.

All public lands in the USA belong to the taxpayers. It was bought with taxpayer money and the UN can’t have it. This is agenda 21 treason and will lead to war the same way that the American Union Agreement will.
There is a point of no return for them. For instance, the average American does not want the debt ceiling raised. They do not want any money borrowed. They expect the government to live within it’s means the same way the rest of citizens have to live.

Well as regards sherif Gilbertson in Oregon he has just shown his true colors by signing a “Policing Agreement” with the Forest Service goons. I e-mailed him 2 weeks ago about his turn of loyalty to this signing away his office to the feds and not his county citizens and his response to me was “you have a nice day”. I e-mailed him back questioning his idiotic patronizing non-response to my question again of WHY he did this. So far he has not responded back to me which pretty well says it all doesn’t it? I’m 71 and angry as hell as I have relatives in Oregon and lived and hunted and fished in almost all the PNW states most of my life. This guy and AND ANY OTHER sherif who won’t stand up to this federal illegal arrogance has to be removed from office. If they don’y stand up NOW, when WILL they?

He got that right, that’s why I have am building a directory of Sheriff’s at

There’s citations too: the Sheriff is the highest lawful authority in a county, NOT the Feds.
